Andrew "James" Baca

Birthday, 12/9/1974: Andrew "James" Baca (aliases: Jaime, Jimbo, Jamebo, Jimbolicious, J. Dog, etc.) left to pave the way for us in Heaven on Wednesday, June 04, 2014, at the young age of 39. As "God's gift to women", James lived life to the fullest and enjoyed drinking cold ones with family and friends and also worked 17 years as the finest "Waste Sanitation Disposal Engineer". He wore many hats during his time with us on earth (Son, Brother, Daddy, Uncle, Cuzz, Comedian, and Friend, etc.). James will never be forgotten for his witty charm and unique style. James' pride and joy was his 20-year old "Baby Girl" (Alexandria (Alex) Baca). He always made it known to everyone that Alex is the most beautiful, smart, and talented girl EVER and that he had a hand in making her. As James' true reason for happiness, Alexandria, please remember your daddy loved you dearly and will be with you in your thoughts, prayers, spirit, and basically anytime you need a laugh. Besides his beautiful daughter, James had numerous family and friends to surround his "never a dull minute" world. His mom, Rachael; dad, Andres; three sisters (Andrea and his two nephews, Mikey and Lorenzo; Patricia (and niece, baby Isabella on the way); and Yvonne (with husband, Johnny and his nephews, Johnny Jr., Joshua (his godson), and Justin). As James was a lifelong North Valley resident, he had many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that will remember the late night calls, funny jokes, and crazy references to unrepeatable sayings. James had a love for pushing the envelope on many things including being the daredevil, telling tales with friends while sharing beverages of his choice, speaking his mind, hunting, fishing, eating mom's tamale pie, watching TV in dad's garage with Cowgirl, and watching the Denver Broncos (except for the Super Bowl XLVIII). A Rosary will be recited on Thursday, June 12, 2014, 6:00 p.m., at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, 1860 Griegos Rd. NW. A Mass will be celebrated on Friday, June 13, 2014, 9:00 a.m., also at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. Interment will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Please bring your good time stories to share with his family and friends as we honor James' fun spirit through laughter as we work through his heartbreaking death. James, we will see you soon - you better have it all worked out up in Heaven! Love you Son, Brother, and Daddy!
